Lou Yi looked at the Attribute Panel.

The column with his name, which had been a healthy green, had changed to a faint red.

Moreover, the brightness of the red was rapidly deepening, and in the blink of an eye, it turned black-red, indicating his dire condition, life hanging by a thread!

However, this couldn't stump Lou Yi.

He remained calm, looking at the plus sign that appeared immediately behind his name, and pressed it forcefully.

Energy decreased by 2, a huge surge of warmth emerged within his body out of thin air, swiftly healing various injuries.

His body instantly returned to peak condition.

And there were still well over a thousand points of energy remaining in the Attribute Panel!

'Why not play with you a little longer!'

His confidence greatly boosted, Lou Yi continued to charge toward the center of the smoke.

He had a hunch that the essence of this smoke might very well be there, and once he found the essence, he would find an effective strategy to defeat the enemy.

"Oh?"

The smoke clearly did not expect this human to survive instantly, let alone have the strength to struggle, and it was infuriated.

"Courting death!"

A mass of yellow-black smoke surged forward, its density suddenly becoming several times greater, leaving Lou Yi unable to advance an inch.

At the same time, Lou Yi's outer layer was also enduring a massive test.

If the previous pain was barely bearable.

Now it felt as if his skin was being peeled off and tendons were being pulled, strung onto an iron skewer, with a searing knife scraping viciously against his bones!

He was momentarily blinded, nearly passing out.

But Lou Yi knew that if he completely lost consciousness, the Attribute Panel would become useless, and he might really disappear from this world.

Thus, he gritted his teeth against the inhuman pain, continuously using his consciousness to tap the plus sign behind his name to heal his injuries.

The energy was continuously decreasing at a constant speed.

And Lou Yi, enduring the excruciating pain, continued to advance toward the interior of the swirling black smoke.

After marching for a while, he finally saw a faint shadow hidden in the center of the smoke.

Without thinking, Lou Yi threw a fierce punch.

"Splitting Mountain."

All his Blood Qi surged onto his right fist, emitting a dazzling red light, like a small sun, pouring out all the strength in an instant!

"Dragon Piercing."

With Secret Blood stimulating the Dragon-Pricking Acupoint in his chest, triggering the Qi-Blood and potential hidden in the deepest parts of his body, his power erupted for a second time!

"Soul Devouring."

The extra blood essence obtained from newly slain monsters was fully mobilized onto his fist for a third eruption!

'Boom!'

The smoke that originally coalesced around him, unable to dissipate, scattered like flowing water under this force likely surpassing a hundred thousand pounds, revealing the true form of the demon.

Its figure was roughly the size of a human, with an inverted triangle-shaped head topped with two wriggling antennas, a face covered in fine, long yellow hairs, and two protruding eyes that shimmered with a sinister red light.

Its body was ellipsoidal, with a sharp and pointed tail covered in a thick layer of cuticle, adorned with alternating yellow and black stripes.

Behind, it had two black wings, their surfaces covered with a multitude of fine scales, vibrating in a 'buzzing' sound with small amplitude.

Its arms numbered six, each resembling the thickness of a human arm but covered in fur, each claw possessing three sharp toes.

Its form resembled a significantly magnified wasp.

Seeing Lou Yi briefly dispel the smoke, a trace of shock appeared in the Wasp Demon's eyes.

Its wings accelerated their vibrations, and its body was about to rise off the ground.

Lou Yi would not let this opportunity slip by.

Activating Swift Talent, twenty spirals of muscles suddenly developed at his knees, and he shot toward the Wasp Demon like a bullet with a 'whoosh'!

The Wasp Demon opened its savagely split mouth, ejecting a jet-black smoke that enveloped Lou Yi entirely.

This black smoke was denser than the yellow-black smoke of the outside, more lethal, and most crucially, had the ability to obscure the five senses.

Lou Yi only felt a world of darkness, unable to distinguish directions—east, west, south, north, up, down.

His ears were also buzzing, incapable of hearing anything.

"Pathetic human, who gave you such confidence?" mocked the Wasp Demon.

As soon as the words fell.

'Woo woo woo!'

The Outer Space Meteorite Iron Axe, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly broke free, slicing through the air with the fastest speed in the world, cutting through layers of smoke, aimed directly at the Wasp Demon with precision!

Advanced Axe Skill—Chasing Life: The user and the axe can communicate to an extent, allowing real-time control of the axe's trajectory, performing adaptive tracking of the designated target.

Though Lou Yi was blinded, he had pinpointed the Wasp Demon's position in that fleeting instant.

"Ah!"

The Wasp Demon let out a scream, clearly having suffered significant damage.

Yet it was not to be trifled with, somehow retreating the axe and immediately changing position.

Making it as ineffective as a disabled radar, Chasing Life couldn't score again.

"You have angered me!"

The tornado-shaped yellow-black smoke began to compress, eventually entwining layer by layer around Lou Yi's body, wrapping him entirely up.

The smoke flew higher and higher, reaching at least a thousand zhang above the ground in the blink of an eye!

"Get off!" the venomous voice with mocking intent sounded.

The black-yellow smoke instantly detached from Lou Yi, leaving him bare in the open air.

Then he plummeted, falling straight down!

From a height of over a thousand zhang, even the most potent Martial Artist would find survival impossible.

And Lou Yi had not broken through to the Martial Artist level, had not developed True Strength, nor could he perform Lightweight Skill.

The speed of his fall increased rapidly, seemingly destined to die on the spot, a bloody pulp!

Just as he was less than ten zhang from the ground, in a critical moment.

Lou Yi tucked his head down, legs up, gathering all his power into a single point, before smashing a punch towards the ground beneath him.

'Boom!'

The power exceeding a hundred thousand pounds, coupled with extreme burst force, compressed the space below his fist swiftly.

Forming a visibly white air pillar, penetrating downward to the earth!

'Bang!'

The air pillar struck the ground, creating a deep crater.

Yet simultaneously, it met with immense resistance. In turn, generating a counter-current of air rushing back upwards into the sky, pausing Lou Yi's descent.

"Chasing Life."

'Woo woo woo!'

The black Meteor Iron Axe broke through the air at this moment, arriving just beneath Lou Yi's feet.

He kicked the axe with his right foot, channeling most of the impact onto the axe.

Sending it 'whoosh' crashing through the ground, burrowing deep underground an unknown number of zhang.

And his falling speed plummeted again.

When he finally landed, although a deep crater was formed on the ground, his body remained unscathed, not even spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lou Yi summoned back the axe, coldly glanced at the smoke in the sky, then swiftly ran forward.

This Wasp Demon was too troublesome, primarily being hard to approach.

Until he became a Martial Artist, Lou Yi couldn't think of a way to kill it.

Unable to win, so he fled, but there was no shame in that.
